Hello from Sunny Buffalo, New York

What a great forum! I'm a physics teacher in Buffalo, and I'm just getting into DIY. In a former life I was an electrical engineer, but I never built any audio. I recently built a subwoofer and I'm interested in building one of the Pass Aleph amps. Greetings!

Zappaphile,

Physics teadher eh!? Hot Rats man! 😉 I run a radio observatory north of you when I'm not building prototype speakers or tube amps or shrinking coins with a 1.8 Gigawatt EM pulse...or playing with my cats.

I'm fairly new here too. Welcome.

Welcome to diyAudio.com. It's nice to have someone else here who can remind people that the laws of physics are not optional.

I'd give a Zappa quote, but the only things that come to mind are from "Bwana Dik" and "Latex Solar Beef", so would violate forum language rules.

ummm... "Don't eat that yellow snow"?

Hi Zappaphile, and welcome.

I'm a newbie myself and haven't yet built anything, but I like physics and I love Zappa, so I'll hit you with a quote-

"This is lonesome cowboy Burt, Speakin' at ya
Ye can smell my cowboy shirt, reekin' at ya"
